Bottom Line: Inventory builds are below expectations for third time in four weeks.
RBN Energy analysis shows that nationwide inventory stock levels are not building-up over the summer months as we would hope. The Midwest reported an increase in inventories – finally cresting more than last year, but at the bottom of the five-year average. The East Coast and Gulf Coast report nearly no changes in stocks due to exporting; just as quickly as product moves to the region, it is exported. That said, U.S. production is still about twice as much as exports. The Rocky Mountains and West Coast have slightly less product build than last year, but near the top of the five-year average. Nationwide, inventories are slightly below last year and the five-year average.
